The stunningly creative, epic sequel to Wilson's blockbuster
thriller and "New York Times" bestseller "Robopocalypse"
"The machine is still out there. Still alive."
Humankind had triumphed over the machines. At the end of
"Robopocalypse," the modern world was largely devastated, humankind
was pressed to the point of annihilation, and the earth was left in
tatters . . . but the master artificial intelligence presence known
as Archos had been killed.
In "Robogenesis," we see that Archos has survived. Spread across
the far reaches of the world, the machine code has fragmented into
millions of pieces, hiding and regrouping. In a series of riveting
narratives, "Robogenesis" explores the fates of characters new and
old, robotic and human, as they fight to build a new world in the
wake of a devastating war. Readers will bear witness as survivors
find one another, form into groups, and react to a drastically
different (and deadly) technological landscape. All the while, the
remnants of Archos's shattered intelligence are seeping deeper into
new breeds of machines, mounting a war that will not allow for
humans to win again.
Daniel H. Wilson makes a triumphant return to the apocalyptic
world he created, for an action-filled, raucous, very smart thrill
ride about humanity and technology pushed to the tipping point.
